Welp, one thing is for sure, Christie will get the 'Arbitrarily Shut Down the Bridge' and 'Leader of the corruption in NJ' awards. 'Go to Colorado and see if you want to live there'? Friken hilarious. Actually, go to the armpit and see if you want to live there. What have you done to change the impression that your state is an armpit, Governor. New Jersey, where corruption is the history and the rule.

Drive around the Sloan's Lake neighborhood, where Wheat Ridge and Edgewater both have a handful of marijuana businesses (medical and retail). Then drive around Atlantic City. Tell me which area you'd rather live in (and which area you observed more drug use).

Exactly...or how about Newark, or Camden? There's two real "garden" spots for you. Any bad neighborhood we have in Colorado pales in comparison.

And as far as getting something to smoke is concerned, as I recall, it's not much of a problem in Jersey either. Just go to the hood and you'll get curbside service. At least here in Colorado, you have to get off your duff and walk in to buy the stuff.

Have liberals grown or what. In the 70's when Colorado was awarded the Olympics, the then Democrat governor Richard Lamm, campaigned against the Olympics, because he feared growth. People would come to Colorado and stay.

Fast forward to today and Lamm may have had a point. The people who have come to Colorado have brought us illegalized marijuana, and a purple state. So they can go now. But I digress.

What the DP is defending is conservatism. Conservatism is base on FREEDOM. FREEDOM to vote to legalize marijuana and deal with the unintentional consequences, Chris Christie is just as FREE to criticize the people of Colorado for that vote, without the fear of the PC police showing up a his door step. And the DP board is FREE to criticize Chris Christie.

FREEDOM and LIBERTY, what a wonderful thing, until someone thinks they, and ONLY they, know better what's good for us, and decides to eliminate FREEDOM and LIBERTY from we the under class, while expanding FREEDOM and LIBERTY for them the ruling class.

With liberalism marijuana may never have made it to the ballot box. Remember liberalism is them tell us what is good for us. If them looked at marijuana like they look at cigarettes, or fast food, or certain types of cars, or be able to keep health insurance you liked, or the temperature of a house, on and on and on, the control goes, legalize marijuana wouldn't have seen the light of day.

Actually CO rejected The Olympics over the cost and how it would be payed for with tax increases. Sure some were concerned about our beautiful state and environmental concerns... but it was the tax increases that carried the day.

Nixon won in a landslide in Colorado back in 1972 - so liberals and Gov. Lamb had little to do with the Olympic vote.

Colorado would be a much better if more people, especially those in Texas, California and all points East, felt the way Christie did.

Nobody should ever think moving to Colorado is a good thing. Its awful. Terrible. The forests are dead, the rivers polluted, the people all stoned, everyone is armed to the teeth, the kids are shooting each other, and racists gangs are attacking everyone in LoDo.

OK. And therefore what?

You know it is quite possible Coloradans aren't so easily offended. Potters not withstanding that is. As a group they seem to take offense at most any comment which doesn't begin and end with a person praising the Holy herb. But for most Coloradans, I don't think they care much about a few jokes.
